I haven't been following the fake node war too closely. I'll take your word for this.

The number of nodes is a unreliable metric, especially in a short amount of time.

Lauda, even if we have our big divergences I think you will laugh at these ones also. https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/4936kw/lukejr_is_a_seriously_a_super_crazy_person_quotes/
A bit is an understatement regarding Luke Jr., sadly yes we do have people will mental issues as part of Bitcoin Core development team. Which is sad, even more sad Luke Jr. isn't the only one.

No. I'm not going to attack an individual because of their beliefs in this case. You can be a huge nutjob and still be a great developer/engineer. These attacks on individuals help noone.

Anyway Lauda, I know you really hate me and yet you have kept your integrity keeping this discussion on Bitcoin discussion topic and also not banning those who contest you. I do respect that. I respect debating and I do accept and agree with you that SegWit is a good feature but it isn't enough sadly.

AFAIK nobody was ever banned due to a difference in opinions. I would never punish someone because of such. Why isn't Segwit enough?

We gained that after almost 2 years of debating and splits and people quiting and a lot of drama.

So the block size increase was supposed to happen in 2014? This doesn't make sense.

I want to have Bitcoin in safe hands and I do consider Jeff & Gavin are good leaders. Regarding developers we both know that some of Core developers will move in Classic and also anybody with experience can join, if we don't have superstars is not an issue in my opinion.

Trace Mayer: I would like to watch a basketball game with evenly skilled players on both sides, but really we have Jordon's bulls and then we have a couple of junior high school player one the other side. It is so unevenly matched that it makes you wonder why there's even a debate at all. On the other side (Classic) you have Gavin Andersen, Mike Hearn (note: quit already), Jeff Garzik and that's pretty much it...
There is unanimous agreement among developers like 23 out of 25 (Garzik, and Andersen). Why is it that the two people who disagree haven't really contributed any significant code in years?

You have to admit that he makes a good point here. He's asking for commits and that's what would matter from this viewpoint. You'd also have to admit that Classic is relying on the work of Core/Core contributors helping Classic (if it comes to a fork).

Also regarding your correction of Minority .....that minority is increasing leaving only a majority of 68% which is losing ground. Lets imagine that on /r/Bitcoin was a topic "Choose your network" with a very detailed explanation of each version of Bitcoin and the effects, correctly written ofc, unbiased.

No. That number is randomly picked. There is no way to measure exactly how much of the total ecosystem (miners, developers, users, merchants) are in support of a contentious HF.
